expected region or regions from which the Queries will be sent. For subsequent Properties, Yahoo!
will provide Google with [*] days prior written notice of its intent to launch the Services on each
Property together with an aggregate estimated potential ramp up of Query volumes and the expected
region or regions from which the Queries will be sent. If Google reasonably believes that it will
have insufficient capacity and/or resources to meet Yahoo!’s projected Query volumes and/or launch
schedule, the Parties will agree, acting reasonably, upon revised launch dates, which launch dates
will be as soon as commercially reasonable. Yahoo! will not launch a Service on any Property until
Google’s technical personnel provide written approval of Yahoo!’s implementation of the Service on
that Property, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     2.8 Queries Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Agreement, Yahoo! may choose to send Queries to Google in its sole discretion. Yahoo! is not
obligated to send any Query from any Property, nor is Yahoo! obligated to send any minimum number
of Queries. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Yahoo! may elect, in connection with any AFC
Request, to (a) provide Google with [*] or (b) utilize [*]. For the avoidance of doubt,
Google may, and the foregoing will in no event limit Google’s ability to, change or require changes
to the [*] described in (a) and (b) above so long as Google does not [*].



     2.9 Display of Advertising Results. Yahoo! must display in each instance, the entire
Results Set requested by Yahoo! and delivered by Google that corresponds to the Query on the
applicable Property in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, without editing, filtering
(except as expressly permitted in Section 2.11 (Filters and Blocking)), reordering, adding content
to, truncating or modifying the content (but not the format, except in the case of pre-formatted
display Ads or iFrames) of the Advertising Results. Google will provide all content in the Ad for
display to End Users that it [*]. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Yahoo! may implement the
Services on the Properties in its sole discretion, including with respect to the placement and
location of Ads, the number of Ads requested and the formatting of Ads (e.g., font size,
headings and other formatting variables).



     2.10 Labeling, Branding and Attribution. Yahoo! must unambiguously mark each Ad, or
each cluster or grouping of Ads, as “Sponsor(ed) Link(s),” “Sponsor(ed) Result(s),” “Sponsor(ed)
Site(s),” “Advertiser(s),” “Advertiser Link(s),” “Advertisement(s),” or similar designations in
native languages other than English, unless mutually agreed by Yahoo! and Google, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any event, the AFS Ads must be labeled in a manner as to
sufficiently distinguish them from other non-monetized search results.



     2.11 Filters and Blocking.



          2.11.1 Filtering. Google will notify Yahoo! of [*]. Yahoo! may implement the
filtering capabilities on any Property upon written notice to Google (which may be given by email)
and Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the filters in accordance with
their specifications. Yahoo! may implement filtering [*]. Yahoo! may change the level of
filtering selected upon notice to Google (which may be given by email) and Google will use
commercially reasonable efforts to adjust the filtering in accordance with and as soon as
practicable following Yahoo!’s request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Yahoo! elects
to enable any filter(s), Yahoo! expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) it is Yahoo!’s
responsibility to enable the filter(s) in accordance with any instructions provided by Google, and
(b) Google does not represent, warrant or covenant that all results will be limited to results
elected by enabling the filter(s). For example, but without limiting the foregoing, if Yahoo!
elects to enable AdSafe, Google does not represent, warrant or covenant that all objectionable
advertisements will be prevented. [*].



          2.11.2 Blocking of URLs and Keywords. Google will use commercially reasonable efforts
to exclude from Ads served under this Agreement (by Client ID): (a) Ads that contain the display
URLs in Exhibit K and (b) Ads that contain keywords in Exhibit L. Yahoo! may
update Exhibit K and Exhibit L, no more than once every [*] days, unless Yahoo!
notifies Google of [*] circumstances ([*]), in which case Google will [*] update Exhibit K
and Exhibit L.

Google will implement the update within [*] Business Days of Google’s receipt of
Yahoo!’s request. The number of URLs in Exhibit K and number of keywords in Exhibit
L will be subject to Google’s technical and/or architectural limitations as applied to [*].
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Yahoo! acknowledges and agrees that Google does not
represent, warrant or covenant that no Ads will contain any of the URLs in Exhibit K or the
keywords in Exhibit L. [*].




          2.11.3 Remedies; Removal and [*]. Without limiting Yahoo!’s other rights and
remedies, [*]; (b) Yahoo! receives one or more regulatory inquiries with respect to an Ad or
otherwise reasonably determines that an Ad could expose Yahoo! or a Yahoo! Partner to a risk of
liability or subject to injunctive relief; or (c) an Ad violates Yahoo!’s advertising policies
attached hereto as Exhibit M, as such policies may be updated from time to time as applied
generally to Yahoo!’s partners; [*]. In the case of (c) above, if Yahoo! does [*] an Ad based on
an updated policy, Yahoo! will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Google of such updated
policy and the Parties will update Exhibit M to reflect such updates. [*].



          2.11.4 Notice of Violations. If Yahoo! receives notice which alleges that the
Advertising Results delivered hereunder, (a) violate any applicable Laws, and/or (b) infringe the
copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade dress or any other proprietary right of any
third-party, Yahoo! will notify Google of such allegation and Google will handle the notification
in accordance with Google’s then current policies and/or procedures.

          2.14.1 [*].



          2.14.2 [*].



     2.15 Quality Adjustments. If Google employs quality-based price reductions or “smart
pricing” (“Quality Adjustments”) with respect to the Properties it will (a) use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Yahoo! as Yahoo! takes action to address the
underlying reasons for such Quality Adjustments and (b) [*].



     2.16 [*].



     2.17 New Features and Functionality.



          2.17.1 New Features. Any new Supported Features relating to monetization or user
experience, will be [*].



          2.17.2 Beta Features. Certain Services may include Beta Features. Within [*] days of
the Effective Date, Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to [*]. As of the Effective
Date, [*] “Google AFS XML Protocol Reference Revised: May 7, 2008”, the “AFC

Search: Adsafe Overview dated revised April 10, 2006” or the “WebSearch Ad Promotion Addendum dated
April 11, 2008” [*]. Yahoo! understands and agrees that (a) Beta Features are provided “as is” and
will not subject Yahoo! to any further obligations and (b) any use of Beta Features will be
undertaken solely at Yahoo!’s own risk. Except as provided in [*], Google reserves the
right, in its sole discretion, to include or cease providing Beta Features as part of any Services
at any time. [*].




     2.18 Non-Exclusive Relationship. This Agreement does not prevent Yahoo! from (a)
implementing on the Properties or any portion thereof (including on Results Pages) any other
advertising, promotion or marketing service or monetization method, including any that are the same
as or substantially similar in nature to the Services or (b) displaying Comparable Ads. The
foregoing sentence does not relieve Yahoo! from complying with the obligations of this Agreement
with respect to the manner in which the Ads are displayed.



     2.19 Guidelines and Updates. Except to the extent necessary to address the
requirements of this Agreement, the applicable Google brand treatment guidelines, policies,
technical requirements and Documentation will be [*]. To the extent Yahoo! is not in compliance
with Google’s brand treatment guidelines, policies, technical requirements or Documentation, and
without limiting Google’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, Google will inform Yahoo!
after Google becomes aware of the non-compliance [*]. Google may update its brand treatment
guidelines, policies, technical requirements and Documentation [*].



     2.20 Test Queries. Google may send a reasonable number of uncompensated (with respect
to both Yahoo! and Google) test queries to the Properties at any time as needed to verify Yahoo!’s
compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, (a) Google and Yahoo!
will work together to ensure that the test queries will not have a material impact on Yahoo!’s
infrastructure and (b) the test queries will not be included in reporting sent to Yahoo!. Yahoo!
will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Google in a reasonable amount of time the means
to ensure that AFS test queries generate AFS Queries, such that, for AFS Queries, failure of AFS
test queries will be substantially indicative of failures experienced by End Users.



     2.21 Additional Yahoo! Obligations.



          2.21.1 Prohibited Actions. Unless otherwise approved by Google in writing and
provided that the standard of care Yahoo! uses to monitor the Services is the same standard of care
Yahoo! uses to monitor the Yahoo! Properties, Yahoo! shall not, and Yahoo! shall not authorize,
knowingly allow or knowingly permit any third-party to:




          (a) except as expressly permitted in Section 2.11 (Filtering and Blocking) and [*],

to the content in the Ad Result; and

any third-party web sites) using the same standard of care Yahoo! uses to monitor the Yahoo!
Properties.



          2.21.4 Permitted Click Tracking. Yahoo! acknowledges and agrees that it is fully
responsible for the implementation and operation of any click tracking or other monitoring of
clicks that it may introduce in accordance with this Section 2.21.4 and that Google is not

that Yahoo! reasonably expects could impact the implementation or operation of the
Services, Yahoo! will give Google at least [*] days prior written notice of the click
tracking or other click monitoring and will work in good faith with Google to ensure there
is no impact on the implementation or operation of the Services; and




          (b) if Google notifies Yahoo! of any perceived problems arising from the
implementation of click tracking or other click monitoring, including but not limited to,
increased or unusual levels of Invalid Clicks and Queries or non-qualifying Advertising

features, functionality, operation and content of the Yahoo! Properties (and the Yahoo! Partners
may update the design, features, functionality, operation and content of Yahoo! Partner

request Google Advertising Results in accordance with this Agreement, Yahoo! will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide Google with at least [*] days advance written notice of any
change in the code or serving technology used to display Google Advertising Results (e.g.,
a change in the advertising serving technology used) that could reasonably be expected to have a

delivery or display inconsistent with the Agreement. Senior Technical Representatives from Yahoo!
and Google will meet regularly to discuss in good faith technical issues regarding implementation
and operation of the Services on Yahoo! Properties and Yahoo! Partner Properties and related
issues, including but not limited to, issues affecting Google’s ability to accurately monitor

          (a) In connection with the Services, neither Party [*] the introduction,
delivery, or transmission of, any computer software, code or script executed on a Yahoo!,

designed to impede in any manner the operation of any software, firmware, hardware,
computer system, network, Property, Google Property or Service; (ii) is a harmful,
malicious or hidden procedure, routine or mechanism that is designed to damage or corrupt
data, storage media, programs, equipment or communications, or is otherwise designed to
interfere with operations, such as a “virus,” “time bomb,” “trap door,” “Trojan horse,” or

expedited basis, attempt to mutually agree upon all public statements and communications,

of the Parties to mutually agree prohibit either with complying with any obligations it may
have which are required by Law. The Parties will otherwise use good faith efforts to keep

Breaches) and 13.2.2 (Repeat Breaches) above and without limitation of Google’s other rights and
remedies under this Agreement (including Section 13.3 (Suspension Rights)), Google may not

this Agreement:



          13.3.1 In General. A non-breaching Party may upon prior written notice, suspend

materially breaches [*].




          13.3.2 Specific to Services. Google may, upon prior written notice, suspend
performance under this Agreement, or the provision of any Service hereunder, if





          (a) Yahoo!’s implementation of the Services is not in compliance with [*]; provided
that Google will promptly notify Yahoo! of such non-compliance prior to any suspension
(except for emergency situations) [*];




          (b) Yahoo! Inc. delivers a notice, or, if sooner, the occurrence of an event that
obligates Yahoo! Inc. to deliver a notice, pursuant to Section 13.4.1(a) as a result of the
execution of a CIC Agreement with one of the Specified Parties;




          (c) immediately following any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Yahoo!
Inc., a majority of the board of directors of Yahoo! Inc. is comprised of persons who (i)
did not serve on Yahoo! Inc.’s board of directors immediately prior to such annual or
special meeting of stockholders, and (ii) were nominated for election at such annual or
special meeting or for whom proxies were solicited (it being understood that, for purposes
of this Section 13.3.2(c) and Section 13.3.3(b), a person is not deemed to solicit proxies
for a nominee unless that person files or is required to file a preliminary or definitive
proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or furnishes or requests proxy cards
or a form for revoking proxy cards to stockholders of Yahoo! Inc.) prior to such meeting by

proxies were solicited by one of the Specified Parties); provided that, for purposes
of this Section 13.3.2(c) and Section 13.3.3(b), solely with respect to the first two
annual or special meetings of the stockholders of Yahoo! Inc. held after the Effective Date
where the election of a majority of the members of the board of directors of Yahoo! Inc. is
before the stockholders of Yahoo! Inc. (the “Specified Meetings”; provided that any meeting
of the stockholders of Yahoo! Inc. that occurs after September 1, 2009 shall not be a
Specified Meeting), Specified Parties shall be deemed to include any and all persons other
than Yahoo! Inc., its directors, officers and employees and any persons retained by Yahoo!
Inc. for the purpose of soliciting proxies at such meeting; or




          (d) the board of directors of Yahoo! Inc. recommends that Yahoo! Inc. stockholders
accept a tender or exchange offer by one of the Specified Parties.



          13.3.3 Suspension in General.





          (a) Any suspension pursuant to this Agreement, other than a suspension pursuant to
Sections 13.3.2(b)-(d), will be narrowly tailored in scope and duration to alleviate the
harm caused by the breach with respect to the applicable Services and with respect to the
Properties, but the non-breaching Party may suspend across the affected Services and
Properties more broadly to the extent necessary to prevent material harm to its business or
under this Agreement (e.g., that the integrity of the Services may be compromised)
to the non-breaching Party. [*].




          (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, in the event Google has suspended the
Agreement pursuant to Sections 13.3.2(b)-(d), then the suspension shall cease upon, and
Google will resume providing the Services as soon as practicable after and, in any event,
not later than 30 days after, the earliest of (i) the end of the CIC Termination Period,
(ii) if applicable, the date on which the CIC Agreement is terminated, (iii) if applicable,
four months (two months in the instance of a second Specified Meeting) following the annual
or special meeting of Yahoo! stockholders referred to in Section 13.3.2(c), or such earlier
date on which the directors nominated by or for whom proxies were solicited by one of the
Specified Parties or, solely with respect to the Specified Meetings, by such other person
deemed to be included as a Specified Party in accordance with the proviso in Section
13.3.2(c) (it being understood that any director nominated or appointed by a board that
includes a majority of directors nominated by or solicited for by one of Specified Parties
or such other person deemed to be included as a Specified Party shall be deemed to have
been nominated by or solicited for by one of the Specified Parties or such other person
deemed to be included as a Specified Party, cease to constitute a majority of Yahoo! Inc.’s
board of directors, or (iv) if applicable, the date on which the tender or exchange offer
referred to in Section 13.3.2(d) is terminated or expires without resulting in a Change in
Control.



     13.4 Termination for Change in Control.



          13.4.1 As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the close of business on the
next Business Day, following the earlier to occur of (a) the execution of a definitive agreement by
a Party providing for one or more transactions that, if consummated






 




			
	[*]	 	Indicates that certain information in this exhibit has been
omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions




35









 









(including by the exercise of any option or right to acquire beneficial ownership of voting
securities), would result in a Change in Control of such Party (a “CIC Agreement”), or (b)
the occurrence of a Change in Control of such Party, such Party shall provide the other Party
written notice of the execution of such CIC Agreement or the occurrence of such Change in Control,
as the case may be and either Party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written
notice to the other Party given no later than the 30th day following the occurrence of such Change
in Control (the period from the earlier of the occurrence under Sections 13.4.1(a) and 13.4.1(b)
through such 30th day, the “CIC Termination Period”). Such termination will be
effective (x) upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, if such notice of termination is given
prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control or (y) upon the delivery of such termination
notice, if the occurrence of the Change in Control has already occurred.




          13.4.2 For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:





          (a) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
recapitalization, restructuring or business combination involving directly or indirectly
the Party or a subsidiary of the Party, other than a merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, recapitalization, restructuring or business combination which would result in the
voting securities of the Party outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of
the surviving entity) more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction;
provided, that if the merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, recapitalization,
restructuring or business combination involves directly or indirectly a Specified Party, a
Change in Control shall be deemed to occur if the merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, recapitalization, restructuring or business combination would result in the
voting securities of the Party outstanding immediately prior thereto no longer continuing
to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities
of the surviving entity) more than 65% of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction;




          (b) the approval by the stockholders of a Party of a plan of liquidation and
dissolution of a Party;




          (c) the sale or disposition by a Party of all or substantially all of the Party’s
consolidated assets;




          (d) at any point in time Yahoo! no longer owns and, with respect to the U.S. and
Canada algorithmic search and search advertising business, controls a majority portion of
Yahoo!’s technology and intellectual property assets (e.g., software, know-how,
algorithms), taken as a whole, that in the twelve month period prior to that time had been
owned by Yahoo! and used to provide services in the U.S. and Canada for either (i) its
algorithmic search business or (ii) its search advertising business. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, to the extent that Yahoo! grants an exclusive (including as to
Yahoo!) license in such technology and intellectual property assets for the U.S. and Canada
for the operation of an algorithmic search business or search advertising business, such
technology and intellectual property assets are no longer controlled by Yahoo! for the
purposes of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, the direct or indirect use of
third-party technology and intellectual property assets by



36









 







Yahoo! to provide services in the U.S. and Canada in either its algorithmic search business
or its search advertising business shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Change in
Control; or




          (e) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becoming the “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of a Party representing
more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the Party’s then outstanding voting
securities; provided, that (i) if such person is one of the Specified Parties identified in
clause (a) of Section 1.89, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur if such Specified
Party becomes the beneficial owner of securities representing more than 35% of the total
voting power represented by the Party’s then outstanding voting securities, and (ii) if
such person is a Specified Party identified in clause (b) of Section 1.89, a Change in
Control shall be deemed to occur if such Specified Party becomes the beneficial owner of
(x) securities representing more than 15% of the common stock or total voting power
represented by the Party’s then outstanding voting securities or (y) any equity or voting
securities of the Party acquired from such Party or pursuant to any direct or indirect
arrangement, agreement or understanding between the Party and such person representing (or
having a right to receive in the aggregate) 5% or more of the Party’s total equity value or
1% or more of the Party’s annual revenues on a consolidated basis (excluding, in the case
of clause (y), (A) securities acquired by an investment fund in which such Specified Party
owns less than a 5% interest, (B) securities acquired in a bona fide underwritten,
SEC-registered offering to the capital markets generally where the Party is not directing
the underwriter to resell securities to such Specified Party or (C) securities acquired by
such person in consideration for the sale of an entity or assets, provided such Party does
not as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions enter into any
commercial or business transaction with such Specified Party other than transition or other
agreements necessary for the purposes of effecting the sale).



          13.4.3 In the event that a Party has executed a CIC Agreement, then, in addition to the notice
required by Section 13.4.1, such Party shall provide written notice to the other Party as promptly
as practicable, but in no event later than the close of business on the next Business Day,
following the consummation of the transaction resulting in a Change in Control.




     13.5 Termination for Gross Revenue Amounts.


Beginning ten months following the first launch of either of the Services on the first Property
under this Agreement (other than for testing purposes) and each month thereafter, if Gross Revenues
from all Properties are less than $83,333,333 in aggregate during the four prior calendar months,
then Google may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days prior written notice to Yahoo!, except in the
event that Yahoo!’s failure to generate such amounts was directly caused by any breach of this
Agreement by Google (including any suspension by Yahoo! as a result thereof), any failure of Google
to meet its obligations under the SLA, Yahoo!’s exercise of its rights under Section 2.11.3
(Remedies; Removal and [*]), or any delay in the launch of Services by Google under Section
2.7 (Launch of Services). Google must exercise its right to terminate

omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions




37









 









under this Section 13.5
within 30 days of the end of the last consecutive calendar month giving rise to such right.




     13.6 Effect of Termination; Survival.



          13.6.1 Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, all licenses granted pursuant to
this Agreement will terminate immediately and any and all of Yahoo!’s rights and access to the
Services shall cease. The respective rights and obligations of the Parties under the following
Sections will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: (a) 2.17.2(a) and (b), 3.4.1
(in accordance with its terms), 4.6, 4.7 (but only for six months after such expiration or
termination), 5.1.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 6.11, 10, 11, 12, 13.6, 14, 17 and 18; and (b) 4.1,
4.2, 4.3, 4.5 and 6.4 (to the extent required to fulfill both Parties’ reporting and payment obligations
for Ads served on the Properties prior to the termination or expiration of this Agreement). Except
as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement, neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other; provided that, no
termination or expiration of this Agreement will relieve any Party for any liability for any breach
of or liability accruing under this Agreement prior to the termination or expiration thereof. Upon
receipt of a written request from a Disclosing Party after the termination or expiration of this
Agreement, the Receiving Party will either deliver to the Disclosing Party, or destroy or render
useless, within 30 days of receipt of such written request, all copies of any Confidential
Information (whether in tangible or electronic form) of the Disclosing Party provided hereunder in
its possession, custody or control, except to the extent, and only for so long as, required by Law
or needed in connection with actual or anticipated litigation or for tax or auditing purposes to
maintain an archived copy thereof, and will furnish to the Disclosing Party, within ten days of any
delivery or destruction thereof, an affidavit signed by an officer of the Receiving Party
certifying to the best of his or her knowledge, which materials were delivered or destroyed
hereunder, or remain in the Receiving Party’s archives. In addition, upon termination under
Section 13.4.1, the non-terminating Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to either
deliver to the terminating Party, or destroy or render useless, all copies of any data or
information provided under Section 6.4 (Reporting) (other than Gross Revenue, which may be
disclosed on a confidential basis, and except as such data is combined with non-Google information
such that it is not reasonably associatable to Google) in its possession, custody or control,
except to the extent, and only for so long as, required by Law or needed in connection with actual
or anticipated litigation or for tax or auditing purposes to maintain an archived copy thereof, and
will furnish to the terminating Party, within ten days of any delivery or destruction thereof, an
affidavit signed by an officer of the non-terminating Party certifying to the best of his or her
knowledge, which materials were delivered or destroyed hereunder, or remain in the non-terminating
Party’s archives.




          13.6.2 In the event that (a) Yahoo! or Google provides the other Party with a notice of
termination pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 13.4.1 as a result of a pending or consummated
Change in Control with respect to Yahoo! Inc. and (b) (x) such termination becomes effective within
24 months of the Effective Date, and (y) solely with respect to a termination by Google as a result
of a Change in Control of Yahoo! as defined in subsection (ii) of Section 13.4.2(e), had the
Agreement not been so terminated, Google would have within 24 months of the Effective Date been
able to provide Yahoo! with a notice of termination as a result of a Change in Control as defined
in Section 13.4.2(e)(i) and such termination would have become effective within 24 months of the
Effective Date, then Yahoo! shall pay to Google, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
an account or accounts designated in writing by Google, within two Business Days after demand by
Google, an amount equal to (but in no event less than zero): (a) $250,000,000 less (b) one-half of
an amount equal to (i) all Gross Revenues





38












 




through the date of termination less (ii) the amount equal to Yahoo!’s share of such Gross
Revenues as determined and paid or payable to Yahoo! pursuant to Sections 4.1 (AFS Services) and
4.2 (AFC Services) during the same period. The following provisions shall apply to this Section
13.6.2:





          (a) Governing Law for Section 13.6.2:. Section 13.6.2 shall be governed by,
enforced in accordance with, and interpreted under, the laws of the State of Delaware,
without reference to applicable principles of conflicts of laws.




          (b) Consent to Jurisdiction for Section 13.6.2. The Parties hereby
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and, if
jurisdiction is not available in such state court, the Federal Courts of the United States
of America located in the State of Delaware over any dispute arising out of or relating to
Section 13.6.2 and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
dispute or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts. The Parties hereby
irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they may now
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to
Section 13.6.2 brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the
maintenance of such dispute. Each Party agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
Law. This consent to jurisdiction is being given solely for purposes of Section 13.6.2 and
is not intended to, and shall not, confer consent to jurisdiction with respect to any other
dispute in which a Party may become involved. Each Party consents to process being served
by the other Party in any proceeding of the nature specified in this subsection (b) by the
mailing of a copy thereof in the manner specified by the provisions of Section 18.5
(Notices).




          (c) No Arbitration. For purposes of clarification, Section 17 (Dispute
Resolution; Arbitration) shall not apply to any dispute arising out of or relating
to Section 13.6.2; any other claims or disputes arising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall be governed by Section 17 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration).




          (d) Integral to Agreement. Yahoo! acknowledges that the agreements contained
in Section 13.6.2 are reasonable and an integral part of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Google would not have entered into this
Agreement.



14. CONFIDENTIALITY




     14.1 Confidentiality. Each Party (a “Receiving Party”) understands that the
other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the Receiving Party information under
this Agreement of a confidential nature including, without limitation, product information,
pricing, financial information, end user information, software, specifications, research and
development and proprietary algorithms or other materials that is (a) clearly and conspicuously
marked as “confidential” or with a similar designation; (b) is identified by the Disclosing Party
as confidential and/or proprietary before, during, or promptly after presentation or communication;
or (c) is disclosed to Receiving Party in a manner in which the Disclosing Party reasonably
communicated, or the Receiving Party should reasonably have understood under the circumstances,
that the disclosure should be treated as confidential, whether or not the specific designation
“confidential” or any similar designation is used (“Confidential Information”).
Confidential Information shall not include information (i) previously known to the Receiving



39









 







Party without an obligation of confidence owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) independently
developed by or for the Receiving Party without use of or access to the Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information, (iii) acquired by the Receiving Party from a third-party which is not
known by the Receiving Party to be under an obligation of confidence owed to the Disclosing Party
with respect to such information, or (iv) which is or becomes publicly available through no breach
of this Agreement by the Receiving Party.



     14.2 Disclosure and Use. Except with the prior written consent of the Disclosing
Party, neither Party shall (a) disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party other
than to (i) its own officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and
contractors who are actively involved in fulfilling the obligations and/or exercising the rights of
the Receiving Party under this Agreement, (ii) its Officers and members of its Board of Directors
or (iii) on a need to know basis, those who are actively involved in analyzing and advising the
Receiving Party for legal, accounting or financial purposes (including preparing or reviewing a
Party’s financial reports) and with respect to (i), (ii) and (iii) who have signed a non-disclosure
agreement or are otherwise subject to confidentiality obligations; (b) use Confidential
Information, except for fulfilling the obligations or, on a need to know basis, exercising the
rights of the Receiving Party under this Agreement or analyzing and advising the Receiving Party on
legal or financial matters; (c) make copies or allow others to make copies of such Confidential
Information except in connection with disclosures pursuant to Section 14.2 (a) or (b) or as is
reasonably necessary to fulfill the Receiving Party’s obligations or exercise its rights under this
Agreement; or (d) remove or export any such Confidential Information from the country of the
Receiving Party in violation of Laws. This Section 14.2 (or the rest of the Agreement) shall not
prevent a Party from using Confidential Information, Data or Services Information as is necessary
to support or defend a Dispute within the meaning of Section 17 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration),
including any Disputes that arise pursuant to Section 13.6.2, and then only to the extent that the
arbitrators, or a court for Disputes governed by Section 13.6.2, enters an appropriate protective
order regarding Confidential Information (or Services Information) and the Party complies with
Section 17.2.5 (Confidentiality of Proceedings), with such provisions applying mutatis mutandis to
Disputes arising under Section 13.6.2. The Receiving Party shall treat the Confidential
Information with at least the same degree of care and protection as it would use with respect to
its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable
standard of care. The foregoing obligations shall survive for a period of five years following the
termination or expiration of this Agreement, except in the case of source code, in which case the
foregoing obligations shall be perpetual.



     14.3 Agents and Contractors.



          14.3.1 Agents and Contractors. Neither Party will retain or utilize any of the
Specified Parties (or any of their then-current employees) as its agent, contractor or advisor for
any purposes under Section 14.2 (Disclosure and Use). The foregoing does not limit Yahoo!’s
ability to obtain Comparable Ads from any of such entities. Confidential Information disclosed by
a Party to contractors under 14.2 will be disclosed only to the extent that such contractors (x)
have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the purpose of the permitted
disclosure, (y) have signed a non-disclosure and non-use agreement with such Party that protects
the confidentiality of Data with provisions at least as protective as this Agreement, and (z) have
a contract with such Party that requires them to use Confidential Information only to fulfill such
Party’s obligations under this Agreement.




     14.4 Required Disclosures. A Receiving Party or its officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or contractors may make a disclosure of Confidential



40









 




Information if required either by Law or legal process (as a result of legal compulsion or in
order to advance a defense to a claim), in response to a request by a governmental or regulatory
agency, including but not limited to, a national stock market or exchange, or the Securities and
Exchange Commission or other regulatory agency, or in connection with a proceeding before a court,
adversary proceeding, administrative proceeding, governmental or regulatory proceeding, including
but not limited to, the rules and regulations of a national stock market or exchange, or the
Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory agency if (a) the Receiving Party only
discloses that portion of the Confidential Information reasonably required to be disclosed (on
advice by Receiving Party’s counsel); and (b) the Receiving Party provides reasonable written
notice to the Disclosing Party pursuant to Section 18.5 (Notices) in advance of the disclosure so
that the Disclosing Party may, at its election, seek confidential treatment for the Confidential
Information, a protective order or other appropriate remedy, relief or assurances, and the
Receiving Party shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party to obtain such confidential treatment,
orders or other remedies, relief or reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be
afforded the Confidential Information so disclosed; or (c) the Disclosing Party consents in writing
to having the Confidential Information produced or disclosed. Disclosure under this Section 14.4
shall not relieve the Receiving Party of its obligations of confidentiality generally under this
Agreement. In no event shall the Receiving Party or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys,
accountants, financial advisors or contractors oppose an action by the Disclosing Party to obtain a
protective order or other relief requiring that Confidential Information to be disclosed under this
Section 14.4 be treated confidentially. In the event that the Receiving Party or its officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or contractors, as the case may
be, shall have complied fully with the provisions of this paragraph, such disclosure may be made by
the Receiving Party or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial
advisors or contractors, as the case may be, without any liability hereunder. 




     14.5 Confidentiality of Agreement. Each Party agrees that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of the other Party and will be disclosed
only as set forth in this Section 14 or as otherwise provided in Section 16 (Public Relations and
Communications). For avoidance of doubt, if a Party enters into negotiations for a corporate
transaction, where the consummation of such transaction would result in a Change in Control of such
Party, prior to closing such corporate transaction the Party may not disclose the terms of this
Agreement (except to the extent such terms have already been publicly disclosed in compliance with
this Section 14 or Section 16 (Public Relations and Communications)) or the other Party’s
Confidential Information.



     14.6 Filings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, either
Party may disclose the existence and material terms of this Agreement as required by applicable
securities laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation FD and the obligation to
file reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or
the rules of any national stock market or exchange on which such party’s common stock is listed,
provided that such Party (a) provides written notice to the other Party pursuant to Section 18.5
(Notices) and solicits the other Party’s views as to which terms of this Agreement the other Party
desires confidential treatment for, including the justification for such confidential treatment, in
each case a reasonable time in advance of the disclosure, and (b) requests confidential treatment,
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, of those
terms of this Agreement so identified by the other Party, except to the extent that such Party
reasonably determines, with the advice of counsel and after soliciting the views of the other Party
pursuant to (a) above and discussing with the other Party the reasons for such determination
(including the advice of counsel), that any such terms are not appropriate



41









 







subjects for a request for confidential treatment under the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.



     14.7 Injunctive Relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that breach of this Section
14 may cause irreparable injury for which monetary damages are not an adequate remedy.
Accordingly, each Party may seek injunctive relief and any other available equitable remedies to
enforce the provisions of this Section 14, without posting a bond if otherwise required by Law.



15. ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT




     15.1 Account Managers.



          15.1.1 Appointment. Google and Yahoo! will each designate an appropriate number of
senior employees of their respective companies or of an Affiliate (the “Account Managers”).
Such number of Account Managers will be determined by the mutual agreement of the Parties and will
be appropriate in light of the potential complexity of and revenue generated under this Agreement.
The Account Manager together with other personnel as determined by the Account Managers will meet
telephonically or in person (a) from time to time (at a minimum on a monthly basis) to discuss the
various elements of this Agreement and Google’s proposed updates to the Services; or (b) as needed
to resolve any business or technical issues that may arise with respect to this Agreement. Each
Party will be responsible for all travel and any other costs and expenses for its representatives
to attend meetings of, or otherwise participate in, such meetings.




          15.1.2 Escalation. Any issue requiring resolution by the Account Managers that
remains unresolved will be resolved in accordance the dispute resolution procedures of Section 17.1
(Dispute Resolution).




          15.1.3 Ongoing Cooperation. Each Party agrees to devote appropriate resources in an
effort to achieve the purposes of this Agreement. Because of the scope of this Agreement and in
light of the rapid evolution of technologies underlying this Agreement and laws governing the
Services, the Parties agree to cooperate reasonably and in good faith to address unforeseen
circumstances, such as the evolution of technology or changes in Law.




          15.1.4 Affiliates. The Parties will cooperate to streamline and centralize
communications under this Agreement to avoid unnecessary communication involving Affiliates. Each
Party shall be primarily liable for performance by its Affiliates. Each Party shall be fully
responsible for compliance by its Affiliates with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.




16. PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS




     16.1 Publicity. No Party may make any public announcement or issue any press release
about the existence or terms of this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent. Any
and all public announcements and press releases regarding the existence and terms of this Agreement
and the method of its release will be approved in advance of the release, in writing, by both
Yahoo! and Google and once released, either Party may repeat information released in accordance
with this Section 16.1 without further consent of the other Party. For purposes of clarification,
a Party does not need to seek approval from the other Party to disclose the existence and terms of
this Agreement if such Party is repeating a public statement that has been previously approved by

     16.2 Regulatory Cooperation.



          16.2.1 The Parties will implement the Services under this Agreement 105 days after the
Effective Date (or as extended upon agreement of the parties), or sooner if a Governmental
Authority provides notice that any regulatory issues, objections or concerns have been resolved.




          16.2.2 In connection with any regulatory proceedings relating to this Agreement, the Parties
will consult and cooperate reasonably with one another, consider in good faith the views of one
another, and provide to the other Party in advance any analyses, appearances, presentations,
memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals they or their agents make or submit to a
Governmental Authority. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto agree to (a) give each
other reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Authority, (b) give each
other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings, (c) to the extent practicable, give
each other reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental
Authority, (d) if any Governmental Authority initiates a substantive oral communication promptly
notify the other party of the substance of such communication, (e) provide each other with a
reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon all written communications (including any
analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals) with a Governmental
Authority, (f) provide each other with copies of all written communications to or from any
Governmental Authority, (g) not advance arguments in connection with any regulatory review or
litigation proceeding related to this Agreement (other than litigation between the Parties) over
the objection of the other Party that would reasonably be likely to have a significant adverse
impact on that other Party, and (h) defend any lawsuits or similar actions filed on competition
grounds (whether initiated by a Governmental Authority or otherwise), unless doing so is not
commercially reasonable with respect to that party (taking all factors into account, including
without limitation effects on a party’s brand or business outside the scope of the Agreement),
provided however, that neither Party shall be required to comply with subsection (b) to the extent
that the Governmental Authority objects to the participation of the Party, or with subsections (e)
or (f) to the extent that such disclosure may raise regulatory concerns (in which case, the
disclosure may be made on an outside counsel basis).




          16.2.3 The Parties will cooperate reasonably in working with regulatory authorities to resolve
any issues, objections or concerns they may have, and, if necessary, will amend this Agreement to
resolve any such outstanding regulatory issues, objections or concerns, provided that any such
amendment is commercially reasonable for each Party (taking all factors into account, including
without limitation effects on a party’s brand or business outside the scope of the Agreement).




          16.2.4 Either Party may terminate the Agreement (a) 120 days after the Effective Date in order
to avoid or end a lawsuit or similar action filed on competition-law grounds if (i) such party has
taken all actions in compliance with this Section 16.2 including offering to make commercially
reasonable amendments to this Agreement, and (ii) defending such action is not commercially
reasonable with respect to that Party (taking all factors into account, including without
limitation effects on a party’s brand or business outside the scope of the Agreement); or (b) if a
court of competent jurisdiction has entered an order enjoining the implementation of the Agreement.

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION




     17.1 Dispute Resolution. Except with respect to a Party’s request for equitable or
provisional relief or to otherwise protect its Intellectual Property Rights or Confidential
Information provided under this Agreement, no civil action, proceeding as set forth below with
respect to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, or in connection with,
this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity hereof, including the validity of this
dispute resolution provision (each of which dispute, controversy, or claim will be termed a
“Dispute”) between the Parties may be commenced, nor may a Party terminate any portion of
this Agreement for a material breach of a material warranty, representation, covenant or obligation
of this Agreement, until the Parties have first attempted in good faith to resolve the Dispute
amicably in accordance with this Section 17.1.



          17.1.1 Notice of Dispute. In the event of a Dispute, the Party raising the Dispute
shall give written notice to the other Party setting forth the details of the Dispute and any
proposed solution or compromise. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the Dispute
within [*] days of receipt of the notice of Dispute.




          17.1.2 Escalation. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute
within [*] days, the Parties shall escalate the Dispute by referring the details of the Dispute,
the status of the negotiations and any proposed compromise in writing to the Parties’ respective
designated executive (who shall be at least at a “Senior Vice President” level). The Parties’
designated executives shall have [*] days from receipt of notice of the Dispute or such longer
period as the Parties may mutually agree to in writing, to resolve the Dispute in good faith. If
the Parties’ designated executives are unable to resolve the Dispute, the Dispute will be escalated
to an Officer of each Party, who shall have [*] days, or such longer period as the Parties may
mutually agree to in writing, to attempt to resolve the Dispute in good faith.




     17.2 Arbitration. If the Parties cannot resolve a Dispute pursuant to Section 17.1
above, and with the sole exception of Disputes governed by Section 13.6.2, any and all Disputes
(including, but not limited to, the validity of this agreement to arbitrate) will be settled
exclusively by final and binding arbitration joining all of the claims asserted by or against the
Parties in connection with such Dispute or claim. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara
County, California and shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect except as limited or expanded by this Agreement.
This clause shall not preclude Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration
(e.g., to compel arbitration) or from seeking equitable or provisional relief from a court
of competent jurisdiction.



          17.2.1 Smaller Claims. If the Dispute involves a claim for monetary damages only and
in an amount equal to or less than $[*], exclusive of legal fees and costs of the arbitration, then
the Parties will jointly select one independent arbitrator who is experienced and knowledgeable
about the Internet industry and about the particular products or services at issue and who is not
an employee, consultant or former employee or consultant of either Party. If the Parties do not
agree on the identity of the arbitrator within five Business Days of the commencement of the
arbitration, either Party may apply to JAMS for the appointment of an arbitrator who will have, to
the greatest extent possible, experience and knowledge about the

omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions




44









 









Internet industry and about the particular products or services at issue. If required to act
in accordance with this Section to appoint a single arbitrator in lieu of a Party, JAMS will
appoint an arbitrator within 15 days of such application.




          17.2.2 Larger Claims.





          (a) For all other Disputes governed by this Section 17.2, the Dispute will be
determined by a panel of three arbitrators. The Party initiating the arbitration (the
“Claimant”) will appoint an arbitrator experienced and knowledgeable about the
Internet industry and about the particular products or services at issue and who is not an
employee, consultant or former employee or consultant of either Party in its request for
arbitration, demand for arbitration or notice of claim (the “Demand”). The Party
responding to the Demand (the “Respondent”) will within 15 days appoint one
arbitrator experienced and knowledgeable about the Internet industry and about the
particular products or services at issue and who is not an employee, consultant or former
employee or consultant of either Party and will notify the Claimant in writing of the
appointment. If within 30 days after receipt of the Demand by the Respondent, either Party
has not appointed an arbitrator, then that Arbitrator will be appointed by JAMS from its
then-current roster of arbitrators for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes, and in making
this appointment, JAMS will nominate an arbitrator who is (i) experienced and knowledgeable
about the Internet industry and about the particular products or services at issue and (ii)
not an employee, consultant or former employee or consultant of either Party. If required
to act in accordance with this Section to appoint an arbitrator in lieu of a Party, JAMS
will appoint an arbitrator within 15 days of such application.




          (b) Within 30 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, JAMS shall appoint the
third arbitrator in accordance with Rule 15 of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and
Procedures. The third arbitrator must be (i) experienced and knowledgeable about the
Internet industry and about the particular products or services at issue and (ii) not an
employee, consultant or former employee or consultant of either Party. The third
arbitrator will act as the chair of the arbitration panel.




          (c) Prior to the commencement of an arbitration proceeding, either Party may
disqualify the appointment of an arbitrator for conflict of interest as established in good
faith by the Party. Additionally, each Party may in its sole discretion exercise one
peremptory disqualification of the third arbitrator.



          17.2.3 Choice of Law. This arbitration provision (including the validity and
applicability of the agreement to arbitrate, the conduct of any arbitration of a Dispute, the
enforcement of any arbitral award made hereunder and any other questions of arbitration law or
procedure arising hereunder) and its interpretation, and with the sole exception of Disputes
governed by Section 13.6.2, any and all disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to
this Agreement in any manner, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision
or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of California or the United
States. The Parties specifically exclude from application to the Agreement the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information
Transactions Act.




45









 








          17.2.4 Conduct of Arbitration.





          (a) Evidence. In addition to documentary and other evidentiary submissions
permitted under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, the Parties each
express an intent to work in good faith to limit the number of live witnesses to that
reasonably required to permit just presentation of each side’s case. The arbitrators shall
consider the number of witnesses at the Preliminary Conference and shall have the
discretion to limit the number of witnesses necessary for just resolution of a Dispute. The
Parties express an intent to minimize formal discovery, if any, but the arbitrators may, in
their discretion, grant narrowly tailored discovery if required for just resolution of a
Dispute.




          (b) Decision. The arbitration award will be a reasoned decision, will be in
writing and will state with particularity the legal and factual bases for the decision and
will be final and binding upon the Parties.




          (c) Fees and Awards. The arbitrators’ fees and costs of the arbitration will
be borne by the Claimant and Respondent equally, unless the arbitration panel in its
discretion makes a different provision in the final award. The arbitration panel is
empowered in its discretion to include an award of costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements to the prevailing Party. In addition to monetary damages, the
arbitration panel will be empowered to award equitable relief, including, but not limited
to, an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The
arbitrators’ award of damages shall be limited by Section 11 (Limitation of Liability) and
any other relief, including suspension or termination, will be consistent with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. The arbitrators will have no jurisdiction to, and are
not empowered to, modify or amend the exclusions and limitations of liability set forth in
this Agreement. The arbitration panel will be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-
and post-award interest at commercial rates. Any costs, fees or taxes incident to
enforcing the award will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the
Party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court in
the United States having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or any of its assets.



          17.2.5 Confidentiality of Proceedings. The Parties agree that any arbitration
proceedings hereunder will be treated as the Confidential Information of both Parties and that the
existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, but not limited to, any pleadings,
briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and
awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration panel, except as may lawfully be required in
judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or in accordance with the disclosure provisions of
Section 14.4 (Required Disclosures). In addition, if a Party’s Confidential Information is
required to be disclosed pursuant to an arbitration proceeding or other judicial proceeding, the
Receiving Party shall treat the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to the terms
of Section 14 (Confidentiality).

as to a subsequent event.

arbitrator, arbitration panel or court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability
